Quality pupcare & catcare!
Pet care experience
A little bit about me: I have a lab/daschund mix rescue that’s 6 years old. She’s a fun little low-rider pup with a short legs and a big personality. Even though I’m no longer in the puppy stage, I understand how much work it can be and I’m happy to help care for young pups! My last dog was a larger breed (chow and German Shepherd) senior dog so I’m also experienced in caring for older doggos who might need a little more TLC whether they need medications, more frequent bathroom breaks, or just a leg up getting onto the sofa. I’ll be more than happy to take your dog to the dog park, for a stroll around the neighborhood, or just lounge around the house and watch some tv. I’ve never had a cat of my own (never had a dog that was cat friendly) but have extensive experience with drop in visits for cats! There’s nothing better than a purring cat on my lap after a long day of work calls.
Reviews
Amanda did an excellent job! I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Will be booking again.
Amanda is amazing! I feel so lucky every time I'm able to rebook Amanda to care after Oliver. And he loves her! I'm always at ease knowing Oliver is in great hands with her while I'm away.
Amanda was wonderful throughout the entire process - from booking to allowing us to come meet her and her pup Nova ahead of the stay, to thoughtful updates and flexibility with pickup. I would love to have Siggy stay with her again.
Amanda was an amazing Rover for our dog! Plenty of great photo/communication updates, walks and playtime- we can’t wait to have our dog stay with her again.

Safety, trust & environment
I can easily assemble a crate if needed and enjoy doing enrichment activities with pets like lick mats, snuffle mats, and kong chew toys! I don’t have a yard but there’s a dog park close by and lots of areas to walk around and sniff!

Information Amanda L. would like to know about your pet
Having had a dog with specific medical needs and a cautious eye, I understand the concerns other pet parents may have around leaving their pet with someone else. The more instructions the better!
A typical day
My favorite activity is to take a walk to the local coffee shop with pups I watch, maybe go on a hike nearby, practice tricks, and of course take lots of cute photos.
